Karen (karinlib) | 2108 comments Welcome to our 24 hour long read-a-thon. Each reader reads from 12:01am to 11:59pm in their local time zone.

To sign up simply start yourself a post to track what you've read during the read-a-thon. Edit your post throughout the read-a-thon to let everyone know which books you've read and your total number of pages. Feel free to copy our template if you'd like or invent your own.

We have added optional challenges to the readathons. For the 24 hour readathons, challenge yourself to finish at least one book.

Tomb of Sand has been an engaging read although it's a long one! I'm listening to it on audio about halfway through. Hope you enjoy it too.

Sounds like a good reading weekend, Karen! I read about 300 pages of The Birthday Party & listened to about 70 pages of Tomb of Sand. I didn't complete either book, but hoping to finish The Birthday Party tomorrow.

Karen (karinlib) | 2108 comments Susan, I am really looking forward to Tomb of Sand now.

Thanks, Karen - it was fun. I’m pleased you finished your book. I think the 24 hour readathons are always the most difficult as there’s no time to catch up when something prevents you from reading.

Oh how true Tr1sha! I have really come to appreciate the longer read-a-thons for that reason.
